In 2023, the on-time arrival percentage of ICE trains was 60something%. That’s not exactly a number that screams reliability. I don’t remember the exact number DB had to pay out for delay compensations that year but it was an embarrassing sum. Just today 2 separate people in my group chat were saying unsavory things about DB’s mother because of 30+ minute delays on two separate ICE trains.
While punctuality is not the German trains strong point, this is mostly due to congestion and construction sites. The trains as such are remarkably reliable.
Both are getting people out of the country!
The bottom one won’t, cause it never works.
Its quite reliable
yeah, the DB is horrendous, but the ICE trains work pretty well

German trains being on time is a myth.
